Dior’s 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palettes have been renewed for the brand’s fall 2014 makeup collection. Even though I don’t fancy getting any from the launch lineup at the moment, it does feature a good range of colors and finishes. I am sure we will see more variations soon.

Dior will release an exclusive makeup collection to mark the opening of Dior Perfume & Beauty Omotesando Boutique in Tokyo. The limited-edition Omotesando Collection will be exclusive to the boutique, which will open at Omotesando Hills (a shopping complex) on Omotesando on October 9th.
The collection includes the Fleurs des Vents blusher, a 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palette and two Rouge Dior lipsticks. Inspired by windmills, the star of the collection is the gorgeous Fleurs des Vents, with the four letters of “Dior” stylishly and beautifully arranged. (It is simply too pretty to be used!)
